Reading The Red Book From Cover To Cover

Has anyone read the Red Book from cover to cover , every single page, as reading a novel ? I did it once in 2010 with the large print edition. Mostly I go to the Red Book when I need to look up some information or when I pick up a new edition to see what has been added.

    More times than I can remember. I carried a Redbook every school day from 4th grade thru 12th. Too many study hall periods to remember. James

    I used to do that every few years, making a list of corrections and suggestions that I would send off to Ken Bressett for possible inclusion in the next edition.

    My parents bought me a 1962 Red Book the last night that we were in Panama City, Florida in August 1962. I rode in the back seat of our 1958 Oldsmobile Delta 88 on the way home and read it from cover to cover.
